Overused, but effective.

Picked up 3 packs of Future Sight at the M12 prerelease and ripped a foil 'goyf. Totally glossed over the fact that I did poorly in Sealed. Insanely efficient beater, 100% worth splashing green if your deck needs a significant threat. Plus, I always liked the future-shifted frame, thought it was a nice touch.

I'd like to say he's overrated since he represents all that I hate about competitive magic (playing monoblack aggro? +4 Bayou, +4 goyf, or go home kid!) but Tarmogoyf is brutally powerful. He's not always an auto-include imo, as he's *just* going to be a 2/3 in an average deck. For most decks though, particularly in the grave abuse of extended, he's a 3/4 or 4/5 and is a necessary weapon. Also, he goes together with the 2nd best 2-drop of all time (Wild Mongrel)like Peanut Butter and Jelly :)

I wish I would have stockpiled these when they were going for .59 each hahaha I could make a living selling Tarmogoyf's! "Ya I had a good week, I sold about 10 Tarmogoyf, so that's about. . lemme see, 600 BUCKS!" Not a bad living eh?

The word "excessive" comes to mind. Never mind that the mechanic makes more sense in black than in green...I'm guessing the accident was that it was supposed to be 1GG, not 1G.

@Tezz: They were going to print Planeswalkers in Futuresight, but the design team wasn't finished in time. They were released in the next block, Lorwyn.

@iaiji: I remember it being sought-after from the beginning.
@NoobOfLore: In a deck with card like Terramorphic Expanse, Ponder, Lightning Bolt, etc. this card would still be great. It does NOT take an expensive deck for it to be extremely powerful, but a deck that caters to it, regardless of budget. Would it be better with more budget? Maybe because of fetch-lands, but that is about it. In fact, the decks that run this card tend to be cheaper to make than many other top-tier decks.

While beatable, this card is really a pain in the rear end. I don't like it very much.
By the way, a friend of mine bought a total of two packs of Future Sight. His rares were Daybreak Coronet and this. His pack-opening luck is unrivaled.
